  • Did TikTok just stop working in the browser completely? I won't download the app, but my family sometimes send me links to it and the videos never load anymore. I thought it was my VPN.

  • PSA: With RCS now on iOS, be careful when renaming group chats
  • It didn't really specify that, so I read it as the author implying that Android users need to be careful now because even though other Android users can't see your group names, iOS users now can.

    They say

    It’s worth noting that Apple has long allowed anyone to change the name of a group text in iMessage as long as everyone in the group was using an iOS device. So RCS in iOS 18 effectively extends this capability to Android device owners.

    Which sounds like the author is thinking about this backwards. The iOS update didn't extend the group renaming feature to Android users, iOS actually added Android's group renaming feature. For a while now, as long as everyone in your group was using an Android device with RCS, they could all see and change the group name. I think the author must not have realized that this was a thing until now because it was less likely for every group member to be on Android than it was for them to all be on iOS.

  • PSA: With RCS now on iOS, be careful when renaming group chats
  • Redditor Dane Gleessak noted that if someone with an Android phone changes the name of a group text, the name will be changed for iOS users in the group text as well. That’s a major change compared to Google Messages on Android, which allows you to rename group texts for your eyes only.

    That last part isn't true, you've been able to rename RCS group chats for everyone for a long time. If you try to change the name, it even warns you that everyone else will see it. My parents both have Android phones, so I have an RCS group chat with them, and any changes I make to our group name will appear for them too.

    If you've never had an RCS group chat before, which would have previously required every member to be using Android, I can see why someone might think this is a new feature though. Prior to the new iOS update, if you had an iPhone in the chat, things would fall-back to using MMS, which doesn't support group names, so only you would see it.

  • Here are the silliest Android phone features of all time
  • I bought an LG Wing on eBay for cheap after LG left the phone business. The intent was to upgrade from my previous phone. I managed to tolerate it for only a week before crawling back to my old phone.

  • I've finally done it, a perfect first layer in progress

    One painful firmware update later and the z-offset bug that has plagued me since getting the Neptune 4 Pro is finally resolved and first layers are good again just like that. I just had to share the thrilling end result.
